Chapter 275 Not Baseless Suspicions "Old Mr. Murray, if you have something to say, just speak your mind!" Kallum's gaze was devoid of respect and carried a hint of provocation. "Besides, who says everyone does not believe me? I'd love to know how many here actually do." As soon as Kallum finished speaking, several people voiced their agreement.
"Of course, we believe in Mr. Kallum!" "Mr. Kallum could never be that kind of person!" Expressions of loyalty cone after another. Though they had various motives for being there, they didn't dare act rashly.
They also knew Howard wouldn't cover for Kallum; despite the Fairchild family's good relationship with the Howard family, they were also competitors. Only those victims desperately seeking someone to blwould be easily swayed by Harvey's provocations. Seeing the crowd's lack of cooperation, Aaron scowled. It proved his influence was still no match for a young man in his twenties, even under such circumstances! "Young people these days..." He shook his head and sneered. "Even if the whole world stands with Mr. Kallum, what about them?" Aaron pointed at the families of the dozen or so victims, his face filled with sympathy.
"Even if their family members weren't directly harmed by the Fairchild family, they were indirectly affected. Lives are at stake. In this situation, we just want Mr. Kallum to use a different testing method to further dispel doubts. Is that so difficult? Or does Mr. Kallum only trust electronic instruments? If so, it remindsof ssignal interference devices..." As the saying goes, "Wisdom comes with age." His cunning words made refusal difficult.

Then I do not need to do anything else, just keep taking responsibility!" Kallum's words caused Aaron's face to twitch. Kallum was still as unyielding and aggressive as ever.
Aaron pressed further, "Regardless, our suspicions are justified. Instruments can malfunction, but other methods will not. The question is whether Mr. Kallum is willing to cooperate. After all, there are so many reporters watching." Seeing Aaron was using public opinion to pressure him, Kallum sneered, "So, you are not satisfied unless you prove I have a problem? Fine, I assyou've prepared things like test strips? Bring them out. But letbe clear, this is the last time. I really do not have tto play games." The Murray family quickly agreed.
"Sure, it is the last time! But this time, I'll send someone personally." Kallum looked at Aaron with a hint of pity.
"If speople like to persist in their folly, then fine. Last tit is." Aaron relaxed slightly and instructed his grandson, Hendrick, "Go ahead. I am sure Mr. Kallum will not make things difficult for you." Feeling uneasy, Howard asked sternly as Hendrick stepped forward. "What does Mr. Hendrick intend to do?" ""Don't be so nervous." No longer showing the anger from a few days ago, Hendrick took out test strips, his eyes fixed on Kallum. "Electronic devices can be tampered with, so we'll use the most primitive method." When Kallum saw that the Murray family indeed chose test strips, his gaze flickered, but he said nothing.
To prevent doubts about the Murray family's test strips, Hendrick conducted a public demonstration. The test strips turned red with normal blood but blue with abnormal blood.
Many infectious diseases could make the strips turn blue, making them sensitive but inaccurate. Under normal arcumstances, most people wouldn't use them to test for infectious diseases. Yet, the Murray family insisted on using them.
Kallum looked at the test strips, his expression playful. "If the test strips show I am clean, then?" "Then it proves you are truly innocent. Our family will not say another word," Hendrick responded smoothly.
But if Kallum had a problem, he wouldn't escape Hendrick's grasp.
As their gazes clashed, Kallum raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"In that case, let's get on with it. I have a lot to do, so let's make it quick." His attitude remained nonchalant.

Hendrick gritted his teeth subtly. Like many hoping for Kallum's downfall, he wavered in the face of Kallum's confidence. Could Kallum fool even the test strips? No, overs impossible. Kallum could not control his own blood.
In a tense atmosphere, a piece of pure white test strip reached Kallum's hand. Toying with to M et deliberately, he repeatedly brought it close to his bleeding fingertip without making contact, keeping everyone on edge. "Please take this seriously, Mr. Kallum!" Hendrick could not help but exclaim.
Kallum chuckled and pressed the strip onto his fingertip wound.
Under the magnified lens of the camera, every minute action wasn visible to all, As the strip slowly turned red, many held their breath, inwardly chanting.
